Divorce is hard. And I think the reason God hates it so much is less about disobedience or falling short, but more about knowing the grief, pain and separation it yields and hating our having to go through that incredible pain, loss and separation because He loves us so very much. Separation of connectivity, separation of hearts, separation of spirits. And when you as a couple share care of children – hairless, alphabet-learning ones, or furry, unconditionally-loving ones – that separation is absolutely and unquestionably felt when the relationship comes to an end.
Today, one of the two best cats I ever had the privilege of being loved by, was placed to an unexpected, final, peaceful rest, and I couldn’t and can’t cry enough tears to truly honor how much he was loved and will be missed. Enjoy your heavenly fishing line chase, kiddo – you’ll never be forgotten. 🐾
